No problem Sadly does not work for me though, since I edit a lot more then you. And the long times for changing where at debug-mode in VB only. If I just start the program and change the tilesets it just takes 1-3 seconds.

Im not sure if this is intended or not, but with the latest addition of meteorite, i have been finding it everywhere, almost as commonly as regular stone, there seems to be very large veins of it spaced 20 or so squares apart in the shallower levels of my fortress, for a steel grade metal, this doesn't seem right. i was just wondering if it was my case was rare, or if this was intended, or something that will be changed later.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

the red parts are the meteorite, those veins continue like that for a long way, and each goes down a few z levels

fantastic mod btw.

It was the latest addition and as you see it was not tested yet .

 I will fix it for the next version.

Meanwhile, R2 of ModLoader is up, with no settings reset on tileset change and faster tileset changing.

[bombzero]

I dont suppose it would be possible to have meteoric only be possible to spawn in areas with little-no iron ores?

might fix the "too common" issue.


i personally like the addition of it, but the only thing i see is that if you make it too much rarer it nullifies the reason why it was added.

I just made it give 10% of a bar, instead of 1 bar. That way you still get steel-equivalent metal from it, but you have a ten times less of it, and more work digging, hauling and smelting, to balance it out a bit.

Nah, because then you waste 10 fuel for every bar you get. I think it is just better to change the occurence.

[Deon]

Just reducing occurence works for me, and also I've added star ruby, star sapphire and the like as possible gems for the meteorite.

3.28

* Fixed meteorite scarcity.
* Meteorite now may contain star ruby/star sapphire.
* Vherid's tileset for ASCII.
* Added the caste-reading DwarfTherapist utility to the list of utilities in the ModLoader.
* The link to the modloader is now correct (I've originally replaced the WEBSITE link instead of download one.... oh god).

Do not overwrite your previous folder, extract in a new one.

So with modloader can i still edit my worldgen or will it screw it up? also what is the first entry in the worldgen? its called worldmap and has a massive picture that wasent there before.

[Deon]

You can edit worldgen settings, those are not reset with tileset/settings changes.
I plan to write a small utility to change worldgen files through a better interface later.

[Meph]

Damn you, why didnt I think of that ? ^^

One could do worldgen, tilesets, colorscheme, embark profiles, key-settings, anouncements and the arena. I found a little mod that changes the arena in a colloseum, wanted to try that out.

But yeah, all these settings could get a proper interface, a nice, userfriendly GUI.

I've added Wheelbarrows now (I think you already have them in your mod, Meph). Now it's time to incorporate some of new Mechanixm's workshops, he asked for that for a long time. Also I've fixed a tile for the tools so they look properly in all tilesets now.

[slawr34]

What excactly ARE wheelbarrows in the game? Items?

How did you code them in and how exactly do they function?

[Meph]

Loading/unloading/wheelbarrow:

 It works like this: Wheelbarrow is a tool, made of wood or stone. The stations are 1x1 workshops. You build a Unloading station next to your stockpile, then a Loading station next to a big amount of raw resources. For example scattered logs far away from base. Now select: Load wood, and a worker will come with a wheelbarrow. He will gather 5 logs, but them in the wheelbarrow. Now a unlaoding order will automaticaly be issued at the unlaoding station, similar to Butcher a animal and tan a hide. As soon as a skin is aviable, dwarves start tanning. Same here: As soon as a full wheelbarrow is aviable, they will bring it to the unloading station and unload.

Long text, but it should explain everything.

Sounds pretty awesome! Should I refrain from starting a new world and wait for this, or will this update take awhile?
